For many allergy sufferers, receiving allergy
immunotherapy can potentially relieve them from
having to experience the frustrating and sometimes
debilitating responses to their dreaded allergens.
This type of treatment reduces the immune system’s
response to allergens. In some cases, allergy
immunotherapy can actually prevent children who
have allergic rhinitis from developing allergic
asthma. Bee sting immunotherapy illustrates the
dramatic impact such an approach can have.
Generally, by using this method, the risk of
individuals experiencing a potentially life-threatening
shock when stung is reduced by about
90 percent. If you have dealt with debilitating or
otherwise uncomfortable symptoms due to an
allergy, ask your allergist about allergy
immunotherapy options.
For prevention or treatment of serious allergic
reactions, see a board certified allergist, a medical
doctor trained to diagnose and successfully treat
your symptoms. ALLERGY & ASTHMA CENTER is
